A few days after his very bad day of media appearances across the state, Republican gubernatorial candidate Paul LePage went on the conservative Howie Carr Show and claimed that his innapropriate outbursts were in reaction to "someone" dropping the "f-bomb" on him. He also claimed that he had never himself swore.

His swearing is, of course, on video and MPBN was unable to uncover any evidence that anything like what he said occured.

Here's the full video of LePage's entire press conference in Bangor where he curses at reporter Josie Huang. No use of foul language by anyone else in the room is evident:

A LePage campaign staffer is now claiming via twitter that the "f-bomb" was dropped in Bangor, but that doesn't explain or excuse LePage's explosive outbursts at reporters hours later and hundreds of miles away in Augusta and Portland.
